Stop the theft attempt

Oh, yes, this is one for the history books and the way its going it will be one for the law books too.

I can’t believe this election. They didn’t like the recount. They didn’t like the machine count. So they go on a hand count only in the counties they want to recount and change the rules on how a vote counts.

On the first ballots counted, the punch tab had to be detached on three sides to have it count. Now they are counting ballots that have only one side of the punch tab detached, and in some counties they are even counting double-punched ballots voting for two different candidates. This is getting ridiculous. Rules are rules for a reason.

They have people trying to refigure out who the voter was trying to vote for. This should all stop. They should accept the recount, take the absentee ballots from overseas, accept the outcome – and stop trying to steal an election.
